OPEN RANK TENURE TRACK FACULTY IN POPULATION HEALTH AND HEALTH EQUITY
Rutgers University
| Position Summary: Position Summary: The Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research (IFH) within Rutgers Biomedical & Health Sciences (RBHS) is recruiting one or more tenure track faculty with advanced skills to contribute to the implementation, scientific impact, and sustainability of the New Jersey Population Health Cohort (NJHealth) Study. Qualifying tenure-stream applicants must have an established record of excellence in scholarship and ability to develop and lead a program of independent, extramurally funded research. The successful applicant(s) will work in-residence within the Center for State Health Policy (CSHP), a unit of the IFH, where they will be provided computing resources and proposal and grant management and other administrative support. They will be jointly appointed in a Rutgers tenure-granting school or department, as appropriate for their professional background and interests. Salary and academic rank will be commensurate with research experience, publication record, and other achievements. Generous start-up resources will be provided. About the New Jersey Population Health (NJHealth) Cohort Study: The overarching goal of the NJHealth Study is to produce practical, actionable information for improving population health, well-being, and health equity. The study aims to a) discover the ways that stressors over the life course at the personal, interpersonal, societal levels effect health, and b) identify factors that buffer or amplify how stressors influence health. Recruitment for the NJHealth Study began in 2022 and will span several years. The study will ultimately include about 10,000 community-dwelling New Jersey residents aged 14 and above. About 60% of participants are selected probabilistically to represent the state's geographic and demographic diversity, and the remaining participants are recruited using purposive sampling methods to include immigrants from nine sending countries (China, Dominican Republic, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, and the Philippines) or who entered the US as a refugee or asylee. Both samples are designed to ensure inclusion of multi-generational families, in which multiple family members are recruited. The NJHealth Study is unique in its breadth of data collected, including in-depth interviews, genetic markers from saliva samples, biomarkers measured in blood samples, physical activity and sleep measured using actigraphy watches and GPS devices, and extensive secondary data linkages at the study participant and geographic levels. Participant-level linkage include administrative records (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance, and hospital charity care claims, social services participation data) and clinical data (electronic health records, COVID-19 and cancer registry data, and birth and death records). Community/neighborhood level linkage can be used to examine the impacts of climate events, traffic and transit, crime, healthy food availability, racial/ethnic segregation, and other factors. The full initial round of NJHealth Study data collection is funded by a major grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation with substantial additional resources from Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. The study is a signature initiative of Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research and is being led by senior investigators from the IFH, the School of Public Health, and the Department of Sociology at Rutgers. Duties of the Position Related to the Cohort Study: · Member of the NJHealth Study leadership team guiding its scientific direction. · Lead and contribute to the NJHealth Study by a) authoring and co-authoring peer-reviewed journal manuscripts; b) developing and contributing to NIH and other grant proposals drawing on the NJHealth Study, including generating funds for future rounds of data collection; and c) engaging in translational communication with NJHealth Study participants and community and policy stakeholders. · Maintain an excellent record of scholarly publication in high-impact journals and engage in active leadership in their discipline and areas of expertise. · Develop an independent extramurally funded program of research on highly significant population health and health equity questions, including but not limited to work drawing on the NJHealth Study. · Contribute to the educational and service missions of the IFH, CSHP, and the department to which they are jointly appointed, including providing mentorship and professional development support for staff, post-doctoral fellows, and early-stage faculty, as appropriate. Successful applicant(s) will be provided with a start-up package which they may use to support professional development activities and advance their independent research program. Minimum Education and Experience: Minimum Qualifications and Experience: ·· Doctoral degree in a relevant field such as social or mental health epidemiology, psychology, sociology, or health policy and services research. · At least one year of relevant post-doctoral experience, additional years of relevant experience are preferred. · Training and experience in advanced analytic techniques applicable to longitudinal cohort studies, including analyses of the types of data used in the NJHealth Study. · Record of successful multi-disciplinary collaboration and mentorship of students, post-doctoral fellows, and/or early-stage investigators, as appropriate to the candidate's seniority. · Record of successful peer-reviewed, high-impact publications, appropriate to academic rank, addressing population health and/or health equity. · Record of leadership of, or contributions to, major successful peer-reviewed grant proposals to the NIH or other sponsors, appropriate to academic rank. · Excellent written and oral communication skills and ability to translate research findings and concepts to both academic and non-academic audiences, including study subjects and community and public policy leaders. · Demonstrated record of excellence in education and mentorship in a field relevant to population health or health equity. · Cultural and language competences and experience working with one or more of the immigrant groups in the NJHealth Study are also desirable.
